is it considered as a bird course?

I checked anti-calendar and it's got 80% retake

I was gonna take eeb216 , but... couldn't fit that into my new schedule.

i'm going into 2nd yr life science and haven't take 1st yr physics yet. don't know if i need to take them or not yet... depends...

is it possible to take phy205 first and take 1st yr physics in summer school after finishing 2nd yr?

and would it be easy to get mark in phy205...

(I took gr12 physics.)


Thanks

if you need physics as a prereq for your program, it's not meant for you..
i mean it may be a waste of time because you're going to do physics anyways
it's meant for non-majors... however, if you don't care..then i would take it

HOWEVER,

it's a lot of work..(even tho i still pull off an 80) you are constantly given work to do...like you got 5 problem sets, 2 midterms, an essay, and a final, and attendance for tutorials counts too...
but this all actually helps you understand the material better...

some good things: awesome prof, TA's are nice, lectures are interesting with student involvement, lectures notes are posted

so if you took physics in high school, it should be all review..

So, make sure you are allowed to take this course before you enrol. I'm not sure how it works for you. good luck
